Will this case prevent oil/gas (which drips from my saw) from spilling out? Thanks

Hi, probably not. There are no gaskets to prevent that. You could put an absorbent cloth underneath the saw though, there's room. Hope this helps.

A chain saw repair guy told my a little secret. After you use the saw, crack open the chain oil cap to relieve the pressure. Then tighten it back up. It cuts down considerably on the amount of oil that continues to come out of the saw and gets all over the back of my truck.

It seems to be a Huaqvarna thing with the drips both mine seem to do this. Yes it holds it all in as far as I can tell. But now the bottom of your saw will be soaked in it. I have learned to live with it and I love the case. I just keep all my extras in a small toolbox to keep them out of the oil pool. Hope this helps you out.

Yes, but prbably only to a point. I do see a residue at the bottom of the box when it hasn't been cleaned out in a while. Mainly dirt and small amount of oil. If you saw leaks gas or chain oil (slightly), the box will catch the amount and prevent it from getting all over the truck, shelving, etc. I recommend one of these boxes. It makes it extremely convenient to carry everything with the saw. You can put a quart of chain oil, files, and anything else. It is worth it. Dd

I haven't noticed a problem while cutting, but if I don't leave it upright the oil drains out. (Slowly, over a week.) I can't complain, however; my two gas saws throw oil everywhere, so I end up using less oil with the Makita.

It will leak if it is tipped with some force. Shaking it at an angle will also result in spillage.

No, it should not leak. Please align and distribute the gasket equally around periphery before locking and operation.

Absolutely! There is a groove about an inch from the edge of the mat that should stop any liquid from spilling over.

Never measured it. I've only used this saw once to cut up a tree that blew over. I just filled up the oil whenever I filled the gas. I definitely wouldn't want to run dry. I'd say there was some visible oil on the bar after I used it, but I don't think it was excessive. My dad always said oil was cheap. (Much more so in his day), but basically, I'd rather have it over oil, than run dry and burn up the chain or bar.

I have 2 of these and love them. But, no, if your put the CO2 cylinder in correctly and oil the top to keep the seals in good shape, it shouldn't leak down.

Not that I know of.. I have mot had this issue. What kind of oil are you using... if to thin try a thicker one if possible. This little saw has been great

Yeah more then likely, i'm having a bit of an issue because my chain saw is electricyour gas McCullah should fit just fine , with the special places for an extra chain, sharpener, instruction book, bottle of oil and safty glasses heck you got room for the lether gloves too. the bar guard isn't fixed permantly into the housing, but you can slide it into the slots so it is or let it be loose. i`m really pleased with it. it keeps the shelf clean and oil free no greesey saw dust ile and the saw stays nice over the winter. i only need the saw about 3 times a year, but when ya do need it it`s all together.

I would use some type of silicone sealant to prevent drips and spills. It's tight, but not a waterproof seal

I suggest you find a keyboard that can be fitted with a "skin" to keep liquid out. I haven't opened it up but doubt that it has any internal protection against spills.

sorry I can't help you with this. I don't use the saw much and this problem has not happened to me.

To determine if this case would accommodate my saw I went to Husky's website. Husky's site provided me the needed details to know the case was right for me. I have a different saw than you describe - Husky 51.

It will if you don't stop frequently to clean any debris out of the cover, and I also keep the tool to tighten it in my pocket, so when I clean it out, I also test the tightness of the chain, and tighten it up after cutting a few trees down. Also make sure to keep the oiler filled, it does go through a lot of oil, but once I caught on to checking every fifteen minutes or so, I didn't have too much problem.

I use standard generic chain saw oil with no problem and I have never drained it out. I have never had any oil dripping as a result. Love my Makita!

Yes, but the case will stick to the screen making the touch screen not properly work. Still worth it. Not a leak!
